      The Hunt for Bin Laden

      • 13 hours of reading

      "As the [al-Qaeda terrorists] charged one wall, three Green Berets leaned over the parapets. . . 'Focus, squeeze, focus, squeeze' they recited quietly . . . Each time the lifeless body of an al-Qaida terrorist would snap back through the desert air and drop onto the sandy courtyard." The war in Afghanistan was the one of the most secret conflicts in recent history; little is known about how it was waged or what really happened - until now. Task Force Dagger: the Hunt for Bin Laden plunges the reader into America's War on Terror, from top-secret meetings on the afternoon of September 11, 2001, through to the liberation of Kabul sixty-two days later and the tragedies of Operation Anaconda - as seen through the eyes of the Green Berets on the ground. This is the story of how a few hundred men changed history and destroyed a hundred-thousand-man terrorist army in less than ninety days. Fully updated to include the 2003 war against Iraq and unique accounts of SAS involvement in both campaigns.

    • Die roten Falken. Sie jagen untergetauchte Naziverbrecher. Unerbittlich - und auf fremdem Territorium. Linda, schön und jung, war fasziniert von dem charmanten Skilehrer, mit dem sie auf einer Piste in den Bergen von Connecticut Ski lief. Es war einfach romantisch... Eine Stunde später ist Linda die Gefangene der roten Falken. Sie ist der Köder, dem ihr Großvater auf den Leim gehen soll - angeblich ein im Ruhestand lebender Geschäftsmann aus Texas. In Wahrheit ist Martin Wagner niemand anders als Otto Funk, ehemaliger SS-General, der Kriegsverbrechen gegen sowjetische Bürger schuldig. Sein Todesurteil wurde 1952 unterzeichnet - von Josef Stalin. Nun, Jahrzehnte später, soll er hingerichtet werden - von einer sowjetischen Elitetruppe, den roten Falken... Ein packender Politthriller, unglaublich und doch glaubhaft.

    • "Dubai" is a novel of oil, gold, insurrection, and tumultuous love. Similar to "The Fifth Power," the author employs the novel form to relentlessly critique the murky world of opportunists. The story unfolds in Tehran and revolves around Colonel Lodd of the American Army, the true mastermind behind illicit dealings. Robin Moore exposes the underhanded maneuvers of the CIA and high-ranking political figures who tolerate and even support actions such as those of the military attaché at the American Embassy in Tehran.
